A ssociation with Ohio sh eep 
and familiarity with their metl 
of sheep husbandry has led me to be 
that we, in the East, oftentimes uni 
estimate the value of the corn plant ( 
in the form of fodder corn and corn sto 
as a roughage for sheep. 
O. E. Bradfute, President of 
American Farm Bureau Federation, 
his Ohio farm maintains what, in 
East, would be considered a large 
of breeding ewes kept under strictly r a 
conditions. They are given no shi 
except possibly in bad weather at la; 
ing time. Shock corn is scattered 
over the blue grass sod where the s 
make good use of it with very little 
age. Under these conditions he has 
able to keep the flock thrifty and 
about an 80 per cent, lamb crop 
minimum cost for feed and labor, 
exercise received by the ewes is bene 
and in a dry winter sheep keep 
healthy under such conditions. 
An Old Practice 
Old-timers, who kept sheep in the 
when vast flocks were kept jn section 
Ohio and Pennsylvania, tell us of ei 
mous ricks of corn fodder built pains 
ingly with considerable skill and thoi 
for the preservation of the fod 
Around the ricks were placed the fee 
yards built of portable fence. The foi 
was fed both by throwing on the gro 
and in slatted racks, the latter me 
being preferred. The accumulated s 
and manure on the* ground were alio 
to rot until the following fall and 
were hauled out on the land, 
j I have found that sheep when they 
come accustomed to cleaning the lei 
off of corn stalks will soon do a very 
job and it makes excellent rough 
Due to the fact that the percentagi 
digestibility of corn stalks decrease 
they approach maturity, for best use 
sheep they should be cut before they 
too ripe. 
i Many of us who are striving to 
feed for sheep with as little laboi 
possible, no doubt would do well to 
more corn for fodder, closely seeds 
that more of the substance will be 
tained in the stalk instead of going to 
ears. . . . 
Insuring the Lamb Crop 
Some rams are uncertain bres 
I once bought a ram that was sold t( 
as one that would get about 60 per 
of the ewes with lamb. When usinj 
untried ram it pays to make arra 
ments to turn in another ram] to 
close of season to make sure ewes 
with lamb and to avoid dry ewes, 
expensive luxury, the following sp 
Last spring I saw a flock of regis 
Shropshire ewes that failed to prodii 
lamb as the owner, being very busy, 
failed to follow up his new untried 
with a second one. A growthy lamb 
be used if necessary. Tagging ewes 
pays to insure a higher percentag

O NE of the most important thing

is “feeding over the back.” It was

When it came time to give the sheep

The chaff, dust and dirt would fall oi

into the fleece. Now, it is just as 
to feed the sheep from the front, but i
